Selfridges Enchanted Spells advent calendar - December 21,22,23,24

I know it is now January, I haven't gone mad, however I forgot to post what was behind the final few days of the Selfridges beauty advent calendar which came out for Christmas 2014.

Behind the door for December 21 was a lip gloss from Lancome. The shade was number 337 which is a gorgeous fuchsia pink with a hint of shimmer. Stunning on the lips. I was excited to find a gloss inside this calendar. 

For December 22 there was another Lancome product, this time it was another face serum, Advanced Genifique. I haven't used this one yet but I like that the sample has a pipette applicator. 

Behind the door for December 23 was one more Lancome product, infact it was another lip Lover item. This time a gorgeous raspberry pink shade.

Did you have any beauty advent calendars for Christmas 2014? If so, which did you have and what did you make of them?

Selfridges Enchanted Spells advent calendar - December 16,17,18,19,20

Happy New Years' Eve everyone!

Where has this month gone, or to be more accurate, where has this year gone? I am still behind with posts revealing what was behind the doors of my Selfridges Enchanted spells advent calendar.

Here was what was behind the doors for December 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20. 

For December 16 I got this eye serum which is the Lancome Genifique Yeux Light Pearl.

 Behind December 17 was a sample of the Urban Decay Anti-Aging Primer Potion. I am a huge fan of Urban Decay products, I never come across a product from this brand which I didn't like. I have used their primer potion before so I was pleased this product was included in the calendar. 

A small amount goes a long way and helps keep eye shadows from creasing. Brilliant stuff. 

Next up we have some more Lancome goodies, this time it was the Visionnaire LR skin corrector which claims to help decrease the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and pores. It also aims to smooth out the skin's texture for a more even base. Sounds good to me.

Behind the door for December 19 was this 7ml sample bottle of Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb Eau de Parfum. I have a dreadful cold at the moment so cannot smell it to get  feel of scent but I have heard some great things about the brand in general. 

Behind December 20 was another Lancome product, this was the Bi-Facial, non oily cleanser for sensitive eyes. Is it just me, or were there a lot of Lancome products in this calendar? Anyways, this cleanser is great for dissolving stubborn makeup including waterproof mascara.

Selfridges - Enchanted Spells advent calendar - December 5,6,7 and 8

I have to say that the first few days of the Selfridges beauty advent calendar have been fantastic. I love coming home from work each day, turning the Christmas tree lights on and opening another door on the calendar.

Here was what was behind the doors for December 5,6,7 and 8 in the Enchanted Spells advent calendar.

Behind the door on December 6 was a 7ml bottle of Lancome's La Vie Est Elle perfume. I love the smell of this perfume, sweet but but not sickly. It is one of those perfumes which you can pop on and it will stay put throughout the day. 

Behind door number 7 was the Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream which is a product I have heard a lot about. I haven't tried this moisturiser yet but I have high hopes.

I am a huge fan of Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Repair serum which I use every night before bed. I love serums, I find they really help soften, smooth and keep wrinkles at bay. I find they also really help banish redness. When I saw the YSL Forever Youth Liberator behind door number 8 I got very excited.

You only need a small amount of product and it doesn't leave a greasy feeling on the skin which is brilliant. If you haven't tried a face serum I highly recommend you give it a go!

 

Finally behind door number 9 was a mini bottle of the perfume Armani Code. I love the bottle and design which looks fab on the dressing table. This is a different perfume to the others which were inside the calendar so far. It's heavier and I would probably tend to wear this perfume more for evening occasions. 

Selfridges - Enchanted Spells advent calendar - December 1,2,3, and 4

My husband bought me the Selfridges beauty advent calendar this year.

The Enchanted Spells calendar has been full of surprises and I can't wait to start testing out the goodies behind doors 1-4.

The Enchanted Spells calendar costs £85 and contains lots of wonderful skincare, makeup and fragrances. The sizes of the products are more like mini sizes, rather than samples. So far I have opened doors to uncover Lancome, YSL and Kiehl's goodies.

Here was what was behind the doors for December 1,2,3 and 4th.

Behind door number 1 was this perfume by YSL which I believe is one of the brand's newest fragrance additions.

Next up was the Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser which is suitable for all skin types. This cleanser claims to cleanse the skin without over-drying it.

Behind the door on December was the Renergie Multi-Lift face cream which contains an SPF of 15. It claims to de-puff the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. At the grand old age of 27 do I need to start worrying about wrinkles?

Finally, behind the door of December 4 was this Lancome cleansing milk for face and eyes. 

I will do more posts showing what else the calendar had in store. Did you get a beauty advent calendar this year? I know the Benefit calendar was very popular.
